Pros

Hybrid working is good, as half of the time you don't spend time on travel.

Cons

Recently, we were encouraged to write glowing reviews on various review sites to create a positive image for the company, which didn’t feel honest or right. For example in google, you can see that almost all reviews posted in a single day, all part of this push for a better online presence. As an employee here, I’ve found the work environment to be chaotic and high-pressure, with projects often coming in last minute and little guidance on expectations. Suggestions for improvement don’t seem to be welcome, and it feels like employees’ voices aren’t valued. Micromanagement is also a serious issue. Unfortunately, the focus on appearance over genuine improvement has made for a disappointing experience overall.

Pros

I had a positive interview experience with Laminar / Shape Projects. The entire process was clear from the beginning I was told how many stages there would be, what each would focus on, and the timelines were communicated and stuck to. I was asked to put together a short presentation, which is a fair way to show how I think and approach problems, rather than just answering abstract questions. What I appreciated most was how conversational it felt. Everyone I spoke with was open, honest, and interested in making sure it was a good fit on both sides. It was more of a discussion with people who care about what they’re building. The team asked thoughtful questions, but also gave me space to ask my own. Now that I’m working here the experience has matched what I saw in the interviews. The employees I'm surrounded with are sharp, supportive, and mission-driven. Things move quickly but you’re trusted to take ownership and help shape how things evolve.

Cons

Like any fast-growing company, things are still evolving. Processes aren’t always fully defined and priorities can shift but that also means there’s plenty of room to contribute and shape how things are done.
